The Final Terror Coming This Summer From Scream

Scream Factory has just announced a Summer Blu-ray release of the 1983 backwoods slasher film from The Fugitive director Andrew Davis. If you're curious about this one DO NOT check the IMDB page, in the brief one-sentence long synopsis the entire ending of the movie is totally ruined.

Our 2014 "Summer of Fear" release schedule is about to get even better
with the following title reveal--one which we're sure will please so
many of you that have requested it. The long-lost 1983 slasher film THE
FINAL TERROR is coming to Blu-ray & DVD for the first time ever!
As some of you already know, this killer-in-the-woods entry stars an
eclectic group of stars including Rachel Ward (The Thorn Birds, Night
School), Daryl Hannah (Splash, Blade Runner), Adrian Zmed (Grease 2,
Bachelor Party, TJ Hooker) and Joe Pantoliano (The Sopranos).
We're aiming for a July release. No details on extras to report at this
time but the key art you see here - adapted from the original theatrical
key art - is final (no pun intended).
Happy Monday!

For those of you wondering, Scream has confirmed that this is the theatrical version and not the uncut version. According to their Facebook page there are no film elements still available, so it was this print or none. It would've been great to get an uncut version, but I really dug this one so I'm just glad it's coming either way. And man, how great does that poster art look on a Blu-ray cover
